Fishing for trolls off a new bridge would be great!
Sounds like a great idea, since they are bottom feeders, and there is deep water below that bridge A well-seasoned coho head on a halibut hook should work, I imagine, but better use some heavy line.
"Hi! Welcome to Don Young's Extreme Bungee Jumping Extravaganza! At Mile 1.5 Knick Arm Crossing. A lot out of your pocket goes a short way!"
Better use a short bungee cord so the troll below won't bite one's head off. But now that you mentioned it, instead of a bridge they could use two canons, one at each shore. This way they can shoot people back and forth like seen in a circus.
Aww, you guys miss me! Alas, our time here grows short as Don Young preps for retirement. I mean, its been fun guys. Who else provides more entertainment than Don Porklioni? It will be sad to see him leave. But, at least he did it his way, right?? The End of Don Young? - The Stump
This gem is full of good stuff, like this...

-- but there is one buy that should excite you: $586,000 in reserved air time against Alaska GOPer Don Young.
Oooh, and this...

-- I'm most looking forward to the possible ouster of Young and his fellow Alaska porker, Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens, who's also endangered. I know, I know, guys like this make Congress fun, what with their total shamelessness: Who will taunt anti-earmarkers by chanting "You want my money, my money"; wave around a walrus penis bone on the House floor; or call environmentalists a "self-centered bunch of waffle-stomping, Harvard-graduating, intellectual idiots" who "are not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans" if there's no more Don Young? Who will provide the instant YouTube classics if there's no more Ted Stevens?
And who could forget this...

But it'll be even more fun to watch Don and Ted pried, digit by desperately-clinging digit, from the seats they truly believe are their God-given birthrights. The removal of Don Young would be one for the civic textbooks, an illustration of the principle that you can't buy a seat in Congress forever, even in Alaska. If there's one House turnover that's worth pumping money into for its symbolic value, Alaska-At Large might be it.
The numbers are in, and Congressional candidate Ethan Berkowitz is thrilled. Second Quarter fundraising results show Alaskans contributed more to Berkowitz than all three Republican candidates combined. Disclosed totals filed yesterday with the Federal Election Commission show Alaskans supported Ethan to the tune of nearly $115,000 dollars during the quarter. On the other hand, Sean Parnell raised roughly half that amount from Alaskan donors ($67,704), with Don Young ($18,350) and Gabrielle LeDoux ($25,900) rounding out the GOP take.
Ehh, this is bittersweet. Its good to see that the man stepping up to challenge THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, Parnell is a solid second. But damn, Berkowitz doubled that. It'll be good to see young gone, but not to lose the seat to a dirty dem. Perhaps I should rethink my Porkbusters campaign...
